Nabû-uma-ukîn II, inscribed m[d]Nabû-uma-úkîn[i 1] or muma-[úkîn],[i 2] whose complete name is only known from the Kinglist A, was an usurper and briefly king of Babylon for one month and two days during 732 BC before he was swept aside by his successor, Nabû-mukin-zeri.
Biography
His reign was so fleeting he was omitted from the Ptolemaic Canon.[1] His Assyrian contemporary was Tukulti-apil-Earra III who was too distracted campaigning in Syria to react to political events. He came to power as a disaffected former provincial governor leading a rebellion against Nabû-nadin-zeri, the son and successor of Nabû-Nasir.[2]
He was deposed and replaced by the Chaldean chief, Nabû-mukin-zeri, of the Bit-Amukani tribe, within weeks establishing a trend as later pretenders from the traditional Babylonian population were likewise to be displaced quickly by Chaldeans, Marduk-zakir-umi II by Marduk-apla-iddina II in 703 BC and Nergal-uezib by Muezib-Marduk in 692 BC
